    The building is absolutely stunning, inside and out! If you are a fan of art deco, 30's architecture/design, and/or enjoy seeing a by-gone era... this place is certainly worth a visit! Oh.. and if you like automotive history too.... then you will have an amazing time here! Amazing displays. Very friendly people too! Auburn is very lucky to have such a place!!! Certainly worth a visit and also a re-visit in the future.

    ACD Museum was a fantastic experience. Couldn't ask for a better selection of cars, combined with the opulent decor of this original building made this 'car moment', one to remember. We can't wait to come back. A note on Staff: Friendly, informed and dedicated to making sure your experience is the best they offer!

    The museum was beautiful. There was art as well as all the old vehicles. Definitely worth the trip to check out old cars that you may have never seen before. My husband and I enjoyed our visit. The place is huge with so much to see.

    My sister and her now husband just got married here and it was beautiful. Very nice venue. The whole experience was amazing. The museum has a ton of vehicles and a couple of airplanes.

    Our family was recently at this museum when they opened it up for free to the community for trick-or-treating. The museum itself is very well done providing the history of this amazing classic American car. We appreciate that the organizers opened up this amazing space for families to trick-or-treat the one downside is when we were at this museum. The elevator was broken so for people that have mobility issues they would not be able to see what was on the other floors.

    I have toured many auto collections over the years, and so far, this one is presented the best of them all. It's not just the magnificent cars. It is the showroom, the story of the people who built the company and those that built the museum. The docents in the showroom know so much about the construction and evolution of the cars that visiting there is an engineer's delight. This was my first trip here, but it will not be my last.

    What an awesome place! There are so many cars! Can't imagine what it would have been like to actually drive any of these cars! Makes you want to go back in time just to see all the really cool roaring 20s. It's definitely worth the 2.5-hour drive!

    We finally had a chance to visit this museum. This place is amazing, so much history and cars so well preserved. I had no idea how much Indiana contributed to the car industry. There is a lot of cars and history, so it will take at least 3 hours to visit the whole place. The visit is worth it.

    So much more than I expected! The facility is beautiful with its original 1930's decor and flooring. Staff was very friendly and helpful. And the cars, so many and such great specimens! Our party ranged in age from 10 years old to 85 and EVERYONE had a great time. Can't recommend highly enough!

    If you like classic cars, you need to come by here at some point. To me, Duesenbergs, Cords, and Auburns are the most beautiful cars ever made in the USA - and the museum is chock full of them. Though you can't touch the cars (with one exception, an old Dodge), the museum is surprisingly interactive. There are also some offices on the third floor restored to what they were like in the 1930s - but mostly it's cars - beautiful cars!

    Love that theres still a place preserving the history of cars and even better this is in the wonderful location of Auburn Indiana. A little off the beaten path, yet so close to bigger cities. It’s one of those spots where if you appreciate the finer things in life, you’ll see what real craftsmanship and quality truly are. Automobiles here are of the highest caliber and not only are there prefect Auburn Cord Duesenberg examples there’s also a another onsite museum featuring classic muscle cars and early Trucks. Facilities are clean, staff is friendly and there’s plenty of local dining to choose from. Let’s not forget the building itself! If you love architecture and visualizing what it was like back in its hay day, this building has it going on.

    This place was awesome! Not only is it in the actual factory so the history is felt the moment you step in. If you like vehicles and history this is a great place to go . They have two building and a basement to go through so allow a few hours to enjoy the history. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. I would come here again for sure

    Amazing.. I'd heard about this place when we visited the Packard museum in Dayton. And I can remember my dad telling me about the Cord he had when he was "courting" my mother. It was more than worth the drive to Auburn Indiana to visit. We spent over three hours there. But it wasn't just older cars, there's an Indy race car and information on Janet Guthrie. I'm telling all my friends about it. A must see place.

    Even if you are not a car enthusiast, this is a must-see. The history of Auburn, of EL Cord, and the beauty of the Art Deco style of the building is just wonderful. You can spend hours here.

    😅we come here alot, we still haven't looked at all of the cars. Every time we come here there's always one thing new and cool to explore. We love coming here. Dad has almost all of the posters 😅😬 no I don't have multiple shirts...more than I want to admit but they are so comfortable! They have anything you can think of in the gift shop and I'm not even joking! Go check it out it's totally amazing! 3 floors worth of amazing!

    Wonderful experience at the acd museum. I had my 3 boys with me, 10 and under and we all loved it. Great mix of cool, beautiful classic cars and the rich history of the automobile in Indiana.

    We took our friend, English Bob, visiting here from Great Britain, to the ACD Museum. Not only were the cars & artifacts amazing, the art deco accents prevalent throughout the museum added so much to the ambience. Don't miss the photo op offering a chance to actually sit in one of these beautiful cars. I had no idea what a hidden gem this place is...we loved it!

  • 5/5 Joe B. 9 months ago on Google
    It was amazing seeing some of the most beautiful cars of all time. The art deco building highlighted the elegant automobiles in a well laid out museum. There are many other makes of historic cars besides the Auburns, Cords, and Deusenbergs. Plus, if you go to the National Auto and Truck Museum, which is right behind this one, there are many more cars and trucks to see. The whole place exceeded my expectations!

    Wonderful museum. Uniquely laid out and in a historical landmark. The overall atmosphere is nice and calming. If you enjoy old cars this is a must go to.

    One of the most amazing automotive manufacturing museums I have ever been to. Well worth your effort to see this.

  • 5/5 Diane C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! Took several hours to see and read everything. Well worth the trip, wish we should've done it years ago! Ticket price included the National Auto & Truck museum as well. Very nice place with some unique cars.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 1 year ago on Google
    WOW!! This place is a gem. Been wanting to get here for years and have always put it off for some reason. What a mistake! As far as the building itself goes, this place is impressive! Add the cars in and this place is quite a marvel. After looking at 10 cars in about 2 hours, my father and I decided we better pick up the pace. Need to go back, and soon. I will probably bring the wife and I think she'll enjoy it. These machines are regal.

    If your ever near Auburn Indiana I recommend visiting the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg museum. The cars here are priceless and beautiful. I had never seen any of them in my life, they are quite rare. I never even heard of Auburn or Cord. Really majestic, amazing craftsmanship. These cars are just breathtaking eye appealing mind blowing. There is history and it was so special. We spent 3 1/2 hours but could have made a day or so out of it. Simply spectacular space and collection. Another amazing stop on this journey. Also my wonderful co-pilot to enjoy it with.

    If you like old cars then you really need to stop and see these beauties. The blacks are almost deep enough to lose yourself in visually while some colors should be on the road today.

    Wow! I have been to the Henry Ford Museum quite a few times and this is the same quality of history. Everything incredibly clean

    Visiting here feels like stepping into history. So grateful this museum exists and people put so much effort and energy into making it the best it can be. So much history preserved on these grounds. A must visit for anyone who calls Indiana home!
